WG 19K6100 looks great could it be better?

[realityst]

I have finished restoring my Tempest cocktail game and have re-capped the HV cage and replaced the flyback xfmr and transistors and POT. Re-capped the neck board and deflection board. I also installed the LV2000 kit. Also recapped the audio reg board, CPU and aux board.

I followed to a "T" the WG monitor manual for setting the voltage to 19.5kV in the cage and also the focus and brightness.

I also did my best with the POTS on the board for X line X center X Blip ect. same with Y.

I have not messed with the neck magnets or the color POTs on the neck.

Can someone tell me if this is good where I am at? I think it looks great, but I don't have a frame of reference. Will try to upload more of the test screens...............

Thanks

Do not mess with the neck magnets. They are for adjusting the convergence between red, green, and blue and yours looks very good. Often there are spots (especially at the edges of the screen) where no amount of fiddling or correction can get it perfect without messing it up in another are of the screen. You would see a white line separate into its constituent colors. For example instead of white you'd have a purple line with a green line just next to it because the red and blue would be converged to make purple but the green component would not quite overlap the others.

The adjustment you should make is to decrease the brightness. This is a combination of the screen control of the HV and the pots on the neck board. The test screen showing the color bar gradients should range evenly from full intensity to barely discernible (or in fact invisible) lines.

This is a better example, although in person the upper lines were even more dim. But it gives you an idea of how they should each be at different levels.

Looks good to me. Play it for a while and adjust if something seems off.

Nice clean tube on that machine.
